Why Bet on Commanders?
The Commanders are considered by few pundits to have a good season, while most expect them to again finish last in the National Conference East. In 2022 the record was eight wins and the same number of losses.
In their last game, the Washington team won 29-28 against the Baltimore Ravens, a surprising victory, because their rival is one of the candidates for the title. Also, the team from the capital city has won in its two outings in the Preseason, as it also beat the Cleveland Browns 17-15.
The starting quarterback will be Jacoby Brissett, who in two games has delivered 13 of 21 passes, with 122 yards, but the name that has stood out the most so far is Sam Howell, who in the last game completed 188 yards with 19 passes completed out of 25.
The big acquisition is offensive tackle Andrew Wylie, while in the Draft they chose promising corners such as Emmanuel Forbes and Jartavius Martin. They also acquired Braeden Daniels and Ricky Stromberg for the offensive line.
Why Bet on the Bengals?
In 2022 the Cincinnati Bengals were first in the North Division of the American Conference, achieving a 12-4 record. In the Playoffs they eliminated the Baltimore Ravens and Buffalo Bills, but the Kansas City Chiefs were much more in the game that decided the pass to the Super Bowl.
The Bengals were tied 13-13 in their most recent prep game, so they have been winless so far, as the first outing resulted in a 36-19 loss to the Green Bay Packers.
Different experts put Cincinnati as the fourth favorite to win the Vince Lombardi Trophy, despite losing two starters Jessie Bates III and Von Vell. With the departure of these two depth players, the team selected Jordan Battle in the draft. On the other hand, the team added cornerback DJ Turner, who was an outstanding player when it came to cutting off thrown passes, allowing only 46.5% to opponents.
At 26 years of age, Joe Burrow once again has the responsibility of being the team’s quarterback. Last year he completed 414 of 606 passes for a total of 4,475 yards.
Final Betting Analysis: Commanders vs. Bengals
The Cincinnati Bengals may be one of the great contenders in the regular season, but this preparation stage has left the Washington Commanders with an elevated performance. The fact of being at home gives the team from the capital of the United States more chances to win at FedEx Field.
The numbers at MyBookie.ag have the Commanders as favorites, as the Moneyline for them shows -210, meanwhile the Bengals have +175.
The last game between these two teams ended with a 17-13 win for the Commanders over the Bengals, with a touchdown by Jaret Patterson.
Go for a straight win in the Moneyline Commanders. If you bet $100 at -210, you will gain $47 for a total payout of $147.
